Second, how to plant pepper?

In fact, the planting of pepper is not very difficult, generally speaking, to master the following points, it is relatively easy to achieve high yield.

1. Excellent pepper cuttings are used to plant such plants with fast growth, early fruit and long life, and then plant them on gentle sloping land, flat land with good drainage and well permeable soil, and set up a good drainage system to facilitate the drainage problem in Rain Water's period.

two。 The planting of pepper is more suitable in spring and autumn, should be carried out in the afternoon of cloudy and sunny days, and should not be planted when the soil moisture is too high. Watering should be carried out in time after planting to ensure the survival rate of pepper seedlings. The planting density is determined again according to the field conditions of the pepper garden.

3. Fertilization for young pepper should be mainly water and fertilizer with more nitrogen, combined with organic fertilizer and a small amount of chemical fertilizer, and it is better to apply water and fertilizer frequently and more in the peak growing season; in the normal growing period of pepper, water and fertilizer should be applied every 20-30 days, it is generally not suitable to apply available nitrogen fertilizer in winter; in addition, for pepper trees in fruiting period, they are generally fertilized 4-5 times per fruiting cycle.

4. Pepper trees generally leave 6-8 vines, cut vines 4-5 times, cut off the remaining buds and vines in time, and cut off the old, weak and diseased branches in time; when the new vines grow 3-4 nodes, tie the vines every 10-15 days, in addition, small peppers must pick flowers, low humidity areas to stay spring, summer flowers, other can be removed.

Third, how long will it take for pepper to blossom, bear fruit and produce a high yield?

two。 Pepper can generally enter the high yield period 5-6 years after planting, the general yield per mu is 100kg-150kg, and the well-managed pepper garden can produce 250kg / mu, so according to the market price of 40 yuan / kg, the output value per mu is more than 4000 yuan.

The above is the full introduction of pepper planting, although the current pepper sales and market prospects are considerable, but the majority of growers still have to rationally put into production, analyze the market and then make the decision of seed expansion.
